PDP Governors Select Turaki Amid Protests Ahead of Convention

The PDP Governors' Forum has chosen Turaki as the consensus chairman for the party's national convention in November, causing protests within the party. This decision, led by Bala Mohammed and Seyi Makinde, has sparked opposition from party members like Iyorchia Ayu and Sule Lamido, who reject the consensus arrangement.

The selection process has faced criticism for lack of wider consultation, with some party leaders insisting on a competitive election. Eyitayo Jegede chairs the 13-man screening committee for the party's National Working Committee positions.
